This easy warm carrot salad has evolved from a very simple warm grated carrot recipe that David used to make many many years ago!
I've since started adding grated courgette, if I've got one in the fridge, and defrosted frozen sweetcorn and petit pois that I've always got in the freezer. The peas and sweetcorn add lovely pops of sweetness to the salad.
It's very quick and easy to make, and goes very well with any grilled, pan fried or barbecued meat and fish.
Tips
- If you don't have, or don't like courgette, just add some extra carrot instead.
- This easy warm carrot salad recipe can easily be adapted if you're cooking for less or more people.
